Actually before working on my phone...I want to know which ROm is flashed on my phone..When I go to Settings-Myphone-Software Information->

Firmware version 2.1-Update 1

Baseband Version 32.41.00.32u_4.08.00.09

Kernel Version 2.6.29-e5576724 htc-kernel@18-2#1

Build Number 1.29.661.1 CL198499 release keys

Software number 1.29.661.1

Browser Version Webkit 3.1

My phone is rooted as it has super user permission application.

How can i know which ROM is used? ( I have bought it from ebay so i don't know the details)
[Desire General] *damo*:
The Rom in your phone at the moment is the stock HTC 2.1 Rom, if you Rom changes your software number will change and probably the kernel too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fwapi:
I have a Bell i9000m. Few months ago, I was running 2.1 and decided to finally update to Froyo (Doc's Rom). Today I decided to upgrade to CM7. I've already upgraded a i9000 international version to CM7 few days ago so I knew what I was supposed to do. I followed every step and successfully flashed speedmod's kernel, back-uped the efs and flashed the cm7 kernel, however when installing the initial package, i got the error something along the line:

E:Error in /mnt/sdcard

I tried to reflash the kernels and still get the same error everytime.

- I decided to revert back and first used Darky's Resurrection but got stuck in a boot loop

- I never got to update to the JL2 bootloader, so i am not sure if i can flash that

- I've searched and used several firmwares from samfirmware, flashed them with re-partition using odin and they get stuck and the screen turns green, white, or blue, and stays there.

I could still get to download mode, but I am not sure what files to flash using odin. Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

Tried doing it again, flashing UGJG8, and it flashed successfully

However, now it's stuck on a blinking grey circular loading bar, and I am unsure what to do

EDIT2:

seems like it's stuck on a boot loop. once i unplug the phone from the computer, it just continually flashes the boot animation

i think i could still get into download mode and that's it

Help anyone??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duntz:
Have you tried to flash stock jl2 for the new bootloader since it came out?

Once you flash it's on and you can go to other roms. This secondary boot loader is apparently the fix to our phones. If it doesn't work sounds like it may need a board replacement.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fwapi:
Not yet, I will flash it now. But should I flash the bootloaders as well, since I never updated?

Thank you!

I just had this same thing happen to me , flashin that lil circle or if unplugged from usb flashing boot screen. Lost recovery mode , download mode still working....also bell i9000m about 2 mths old now. I have been trying many combinations to make this work , the phone gets a bit further if you use 513 pit file but still wont completely load....Help :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenca:
to update i just flashed stock jl2 2.2 on mine with 512 pit file and pda selected and checked off repartition , phone efs clear , phone bootloader update using odin 1.82 and it says success but when it finishes phone comes up with an error in recovery mode about needing to format internal card or something , i try to do it nothing happens so I hit reboot now ...it loads almost all the way than just blackscreens and vibrates until i pull the battery out......

ANY ideas anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duntz:
Try updating the bootloaders as well. Unfortunately I can't think of too many success stories when you get to this point. If all else fails search for a thread about filing a ccts complaint and bell should ship you a new one. Everyone who submitted got a new phone and credit as far as I know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenca:
updating the bootloaders ? how?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duntz:
There's a box you can check in odin. apparently the sbl.bin file is what is crucial to save sd cards and once you've flashed jl2 it's always there so you can flash whatever rom you want after.

So far I don't think repartitioning has saved anyone yet either. when I had it happen I had to send mine for repair.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fwapi:
Did it work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenca:
I don't see the box
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fwapi:
It is the checkbox beside EFS Clear, says Bootloader update

It is beside or under the re-partion, auto-reboot, etc checkboxes depending on your odin version i think

my phone is on its way back to samsung , they can worry about it. It better come back with a good os on it too, bell is killing to many phones here
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fwapi:
Yeah, I'll be giving them a call tomorrow too
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duntz:
Bell may only repair your phone if you call them. Go to this link and you can submit a complaint to the CCTS. Then Bell corporate will call you and ship you a new phone and you send them your broken one back.

If you deal with Bell or Samsung to repair it may take up to 4 weeks in the shop. We can't let Bell or Samsung get away with crappy hardware and want to make it cost them!

I tried calling Bell and they won't send me a replacement phone, they said I have to send my phone over and would take 3-6 weeks. How are you guys doing it??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehtoeh:
I had the same thing happen to my phone after Christmas when I upgraded via kies. Bell officially pulled off the upgrade after a couple days because it was corrupting internal SD cards. I went to a bell world store and asked them to deal with it. They told me that I would have to call a number and provide details. The guy at the store also told me that Bell had stopped sending out the phones for repair and Samsung was dealing with the SD card problems. So, I call the number, and after letting the "tech" know what happened, he told me a new phone would be sent via courier to me and warranty from the original would be transferred to the new replacement. He also told me that I would be getting a $100 credit on my bill. Five days later, I got my new replacement and sent in the old one back along with charger, battery, etc. New phone came with 2.2 JL2 installed. Hope this info helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duntz:
Go to the link I posted in my last post or search for CCTS in the forums
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fwapi:
Tried those... Apparently they don't do replacement and don't give $100 credit anymore. They said it ended on Jan. 28th. I guess I will have to send my phone in for repairs
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duntz:
Did you go through the whole complaint filing process? I think you should get it exchanged no problem! What's the month and year of production? Should be underneath the battery under IMEI. Did you call bell or did they call you?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fwapi:
I haven't filed a complaint yet because I haven't actually sent the phone out for repair. It says 10.08 on it. I've called bell a couple of times (probably 5 or 6), and I get the same answer every time, I will have to go to the store to have them send it in for repairs. I was asking about the $100 credit as well for the inconvenience, and they said there is no inconvenience for me anymore because Bell sent out the latest update which should've fixed the problem, but I've never updated to JL2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duntz:
That's unfortunate. That date is known to have problems. Only the 10.12 is the really stable hardware version. you don't need to send your phone in to file a complaint.

I would just process a complaint since it's still a known issue from the phones and the CCTS thread was updated as recently as last week. It's up to you since it's your phone though!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fwapi:
Yeah, that's what I said, but they kept insisting that it was a firmware problem and Samsung sent out a bad firmware (JK4) but has been fixed since then.

But thanks for your help, I will be trying to file a complaint later today.
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
Ok so when I tap my clock the HTC clock app opens. On the first page there's two button , one looks like a moon and star and the other a laptop pc. When tapped, a small clock appears on the screen. So I thought it acted as a desktop clock or sleep clock. However after a while, the phone locks and blacks the screen rendering the clock useless. When unlocked the app returns to normal.. so what does this function actually do?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It is obviously deliberate. The battery will drain itself flat in a few hours if the screen is on all the time. The difference is that on pressing the unlock key, the clock app directly opens, and shows the time.

It is intended to be used when the phone is plugged in to the USB Port / Wall mains socket / Dock. Then, the clock remains on all the time.

I know you can create folders for your homescreens in 2.2 but is this something they removed in honeycomb or did they move it?
[Xoom General] keitht:
Does not appear to be an option.
[Xoom General] jondwillis:
There's no vanilla solution that I'm aware of. You can get a 3rd party app like astro and add a folder shortcut to your home screen in the meantime.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
I'm using simi folders. Thought it was a temp solution but now I really like it.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweezydak1d:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
Chill out?? The Devs are taking a break for a few. Evil has been maintaining ports for like 10 roms and Gr8Gorilla has been busy with school. You chill out. I don't follow MIUI but aren't the ports of the latest versions? You just want to have someone jump in and make another port so you have one that seems like it is actively being updated? It's not like it has been months since either of their roms were updated. Maybe you would like some desire ports too?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
You should probably ask this in the dev section. Probably wont happen. The two big cheeses that play with this phone are busy with real world stuff.

Its not like this is a job or anything. They do it for fun when they have time. Don't get your panties in a bunch because no one wants to do it. You can always port it yourself.. it's really not that hard.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
heh real world stuff or various honeycomb ports but MIUI rom wise having two already isn't good enough? lol just choose from one of em and if it isn't good enough change it yourself until the devs get time to update it

[Xoom General] rtc1036:
Has anyone made any decisions yet on their warranty if they are getting one? I guess my choices are the BB Black Tie Program, VZW's "extended warranty" and SquareTrade. I have never had an experience with any one of them.

VZW requires a monthly payment, about $10 or so. SquareTrade is $129 for 3 years (+ an optional/additional $70 for accident, spill/water, & drop protection) and BB 2 year Black Tie program is about $160 if I recall and the 3 year program is through the roof.

I'm looking to see if anyone's had experience, particularly with SquareTrade, since when I do the math looking at it over a three year time frame, it seems to be the best deal because it's about $5.50 a month over that period.
[Xoom General] ogar1978:
I have used square trade and have found their service to be great.

Its also has the benefit of being transferable to anyo e you sell the unit to for free.

I went with the 1 year black tie in this case because I plan to trade the unit in at the end of the year when I hope the quad cores are out
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
I used my Amex, 1 year extended warranty and 3 months accidental and theft protection for free.
[Xoom General] deadpixell:
That's not how it works. They are going to try and fix it, and if they cannot, you'll get store credit towards a new tablet
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Squaretrade has a 30% discount today code MARCH) so I was thinking about getting add'l warranty. I've bought warranties from them before but never required their service so idk what they are like when they have to pay. However, my Xoom is still not even shipped yet LOL!

So, some semi-drunk iTard tonight was condescendingly dissing on my Evo when I was using it, dissing on its battery life and saying how his iPhone 4 was so much better blah blah blah.

First of all, it's just a f'n phone. It's not a status symbol.

But I had to put the guy in his place, so I replied:

"You're right. I wish I could buy a rubber bumper for my Evo but they don't make one. Actually, they don't make rubber bumpers for any phone. Just the iPhone, cuz it's so special"

I love being out at coffee shops and other cafes people tend to use their phones to surf when my phone vibrates to let me know a device has connected to my tethering app. I can't tell y'all how many times it has said an iPhone is connected. My tether SSID is iPhone Sucks or iPhail(depending on the app). I wonder how many people have noticed it.

Also, if I am out I will always use the kickstand(hands down the most brilliant feature).

And I agree with how annoying it is when people ask if that is an iPhone. Just because it is a touchscreen doesn't make it an iPhone.

Ditto on that. Another funny story, my coworkers and I were at Carl's Jr. a while back for lunch and some college kid is being all loud talking on his iPhone 4 and playing with his iPad at the same time while in line, while talking about how AWESOME his iPad is. *face palm*

Seriously, how much of a loser do you have to be to show off your gadgets for status?

Android users don't do that do we? Probably a VERY FEW. Most of us I think are just into our phones cuz we want to make them perfect (and unique) to ourselves. That's what's cool about Android, my perfect phone isn't your perfect phone. And if I'm showing another guy my phone, it's to show how mine's DIFFERENTLY set up than his and vice versa. Also, I'm always trying to convert normal Android users to power uses. Last week, I rooted my coworker's myTouch at work and put CyanogenMod on it. He was so stoked, he spent the next 3-4 days exploring all the new things his phone could do, suffice it to say, his wife hates me now. LOL

It seems rather ironic that these iPhone 4 users think they are so special just because their phone is "The iPhone" when there's a 17yr old girl right next to them with a phone that is THE EXACT SAME THING! :cool:
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
I have one friend who has an iPhone and whenever I pull my EVO out he always has to comment about what his iPhone does and how it does it better and yada yada yada. I think it's an inferiority complex cause it's like clockwork everytime.

I have no beef with the iPhone at all, I actually think it is a GREAT phone. I just like the EVO better. It pretty much does everything the iPhone does and more. Maybe it doesn't do it as smoothly as the iPhone but that isn't something I care about because if I did, I would have an iPhone just like all the other sheep out there with a pretty pink bumper, lol!

I think iphone has its place, just like mac computers do. It's good hardware, gimped shamelessly by apple. If a person is not interested in getting the most out of their device and just wants to be trendy, there is no better phone than iphone. I know I've personally convinced 5 people in the past 3 months in my squadron to switch to an android device, 2 of them not even waiting for their upgrade window. Several devs in XDA's iphone side even admit that android is superior in many ways. (I've been trying to make some projects at work effective for both android users and suckers...i mean iphoners).
